re: #98 Miss Molly

I thought Powell’s comment about Americans wanting bigger gov’t and wanted to “pay more taxes for more services” was weird. To me it underscores how little he really understands of either politics and especially economics. He may have fit into the military very well but I don’t think he is very good on issues outside the military.

I think he has a point. Because of whatever reasons, people do look for the government to “help” them. Self-reliance is a dying trait. I blame public school, but there isn’t just one reason.

I work with a lot of young people and people who depend on minimum wage incomes. The difference in my way of thinking and their is huge.

The point is, perhaps, to see what we can do to change this trend.
